In addition to prizes and scholarships, the winning team will earn an expense-paid trip to Dearborn, Mich. in June for the national finals.

The students have 90 minutes to correctly identify and repair intentionally installed “bugs” in identical 2012 Ford Fusion vehicles. They drive their Ford across the finish line, where their accuracy and workmanship will be judged.

Last year, the team from Vale High School won the Oregon competition, then went on to Dearborn to win the national contest.
